Netflix has renewed “The Rain” for a second season, the streaming giant announced Wednesday.

The series is Netflix’s first Danish original series. The series will go back into production later this year, with the second season slated to launch in 2019.

“We’re really excited to team up with the talented cast and our team of amazing creators for another season,” said Kelly Luegenbiehl, vice president of international originals for Netflix. “‘The Rain’ has a relatable and human story at its core and touches on universal themes everyone can identify with. The fact that season 1 reached audiences all over the world, proves once again that strong stories can transcend borders.”
